Novell wrote the book on networking with its IPX protocol. Then the Internet rewrote it with a little something called TCP/IP. Now Novell networking authority Drew Heywood has literally written the book on how network administrators like you can maintain a smoothly running internal network while taking advantage of the universality of the Internet's TCP/IP protocol.

Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare helps you make a successful transition from NetWare 3 and 4 to TCP/IP à la IntranetWare. Even if you've been blissfully oblivious to the nuts and bolts of protocols like IPX -- let alone TCP/IP -- you'll soon have a solid understanding of how they work and how to configure all kinds of clients, servers, and routers.

Heywood offers practical, in-depth coverage of essential NetWare TCP/IP topics, including A layer-by-layer description of the TCP/IP protocol stack -- from the network access layer to the process/application layer Implementing TCP/IP on NetWare servers and clients Setting up the domain host configuration protocol Managing NetWare TCP/IP and name services Bridging between NetWare and UNIX Creating and administering FTP and World Wide Web servers
